The Finnish maritime cluster knows collaboration The Finnish maritime cluster is significant by international standards. There is strong high-technology development like digitalization and environmental expertise in Finland, and these areas represent two global megatrends. Among Finland’s defining characteristics are its small size, agility and mutual trust, which are reflected in strong collaboration between the public sector and companies. Various joint projects are also spawning startups. Collaboration is bearing fruit in the form of innovation. Finnish vessels act as references and testing platforms for innovations in the marine industry and, once testing is complete, they can be launched on world markets. The competitive ship-owning sector underpins the growth of the maritime cluster as a whole. The industries are intrinsically linked – ports and port Juha Mutru, Tiina Tuurnala, Elina Vähäheikkilä and Annaleena Mäkilä from the Finnish Mariti- operators do well when ship owners and the marine in- me Cluster.

The sec- tor employs more than 50,000 people all over the country. The positive outlooks that have prevailed in recent years are down to the development of autonomous maritime traffic among a group Fof pioneers, successful trials of the deployment of new, environmentally fri- endly technologies, and an unprecedented upswing in cruise ship constructi- on. The maritime cluster encompasses about 3,000 companies from various sectors, all of which are connected by their maritime expertise. Our diversity differentiates us from many other countries.

Examples of this experimentation. include the One Sea innovation ecosystem, which is promoting autonomo- us maritime traffic, the remote pilotage experiment, which is current under preparation, and the smart fairway, which is based on using data and data exchange in an entirely new way. Seafaring history was made in Finland at the beginning of December 2018 when the world’s first fully autonomous ferry sailed through the Turku archipelago. In cooperation: The Finnish maritime cluster is also a pioneer in environmental innovation and it is at the global spearhead of the development and deployment of low- emission technologies that enhance energy efficiency. Liquefied natural gas (LNG), wind, electricity and biofuels manufactured from waste are already in use – they have long since graduated from the planning phase. Finland also has very strong Arctic expertise. The Baltic Sea could even be considered an “Arctic test laboratory”. Finnish seafaring expertise is unique, and the icy winter and difficult navigation conditions require seafarers and entities in the maritime industry to have special skills. The entities in the maritime cluster have begun collaborating more clo- sely in recent years. For example, the Breaking Waves 2018 event was held in Helsinki in December 2018, bringing together key players in the Euro- pean maritime cluster to consider the keys to success in increasingly tough global competition. The event was part of one of Europe’s largest startup events, Slush. Automation and digitalization will lead to an unprecedented transfor- mation in seafaring. Climate change is challenging the maritime cluster to identify solutions for low-emission maritime traffic. This publication high- lights the world-class Finnish expertise and innovations that will address these challenges.

The park is a significant investment in the future for the city of Rauma. After five years running, the area houses around 30 companies col- laborating with each other. Their location in the indus- trial park gives them a competitive edge and promotes networking. Between the years 2014 and 2016 the Business Ser- vices of the City of Rauma ran the Rauma subproject of Turku Seas 2020 project which was part of the Meri programme by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment. The aim of the project was to develop the operative environment of the companies belonging to the maritime cluster in Rauma, promote networking among these companies and support their marketing efforts. The first catalogue of maritime cluster companies in Rauma was compiled as part of the Turku Seas 2020 subproject. The current, updated version has been put together by Rauma City Development. The need for this catalogue was generated by the changes in the marine industry’s operational environment that call for effective marketing and constant presentation of expertise and client references by the companies.

  • Culinary Artists Showcase Their Talents in Carnival Corp. & Plc's
    Culinary Artists Showcase Their Talents in Carnival Corp. & Plc’s Cake Contest Commemorating Company’s 100th Cruise Ship May 12, 2011 Team from Holland America Line’s Rotterdam Earns Top Honors for Highly Elaborate Culinary Creation, Wins $10,000 Toward Crew Celebration MIAMI (May 12, 2011) – In a unique competition that showcased the incredible talents of its culinary artists, Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL; NYSE: CUK) invited pastry chefs from across its 10 worldwide brands to create custom-designed cakes to commemorate the historic launch of the company’s 100th cruise ship, Carnival Magic. The chefs certainly were up to the task, creating dozens of highly imaginative confections in recognition of this unprecedented cruise industry achievement. In the end, the team from Holland America Line’s Rotterdam was deemed the winner for their elaborate series of 10 cruise ship-shaped cakes, each representing a different Carnival Corporation & plc brand, along with a three-tiered cake that paid homage to Holland America’s role in the 100th ship achievement. For their efforts, the Rotterdam team earned the grand prize of $10,000 to be used for a fun-filled crew celebration. The Rotterdam’s winning entry, along with a sampling of the honorable mention entries submitted by the company’s cruise brands, can be viewed here. “Deciding the grand prize winner was extremely difficult given the quality and creativity of the entries,” said Micky Arison, Carnival Corporation & plc chairman and CEO. “I would like to thank all of the chefs from across our brands for their fantastic efforts and personally congratulate the team from the Rotterdam for their incredible culinary artistry in celebrating our 100th ship.” Carnival Magic made history last month when she debuted in Europe, becoming the 100th vessel of Carnival Corporation & plc, whose origins began with the launch of the company’s first ship, Carnival Cruise Lines’ TSS Mardi Gras, in 1972.
